I know every neighborhood has this problem, but this is for the Arbor Heights area. There are a few people that live in this neighborhood that don’t pick up after their dogs. It’s not that they forgot the bag, they are just lazy worthless piles of crap, like what they leave behind.
It’s illegal, it’s a $54 fine and if your dog isn’t licensed and up to date on their shots, then the fine keeps increasing.
If you see somebody purposefully leaving their dog crap in the area and you know where they live you can report them to Animal Control. Take a picture and report their address or license plate. Sick of selfish worthless people and personally cleaning up after your dogs because you are too lazy to do so. You don’t deserve a pet. . .

I found a great guy who is local, Frank Figueroa of Frank General Contractor. He sent some guys out immediately on a Saturday. Unfortunately, they couldn’t fix the actual problem as the vent is covered by solar panels, but they did fix a couple of shingles while they were up there doing the estimate. Frank and his team are fast, efficient, and willing to help. I’ll be calling them back once the solar panel issue is resolved.

The first windstorm did something to my bathroom roof van and rain is now coming through the ceiling vent. I’m guessing the vent cover is either damaged – or gone. Does anyone know a good, cheap handyman or roofer? I don’t fancy getting on a roof at 75, but finances dictate the loan of a ladder might be the only option.

[callmecaroline]

Does anyone know why West Seattle has so many high rises but zero rooftop bars/restaurants? I thought one might pop up over the years, but most of these apartment buildings just have a hang out area for residents. Is rooftop dining not allowed on these building permits? or has no one thought of that? (Which I highly doubt.)

I know Efesis took a hit when new owners changed it to Greek, and not very good Greek at that.
The good news is Hasan, who owns the building, is back at the helm.
We have gone several times and loved it.
And we have been one of just a couple of tables!
We went on a Friday night and there were only two other tables!
So, please if you liked Efesis in the past, give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. Support our local businesses.

Once a dog bites someone and causes injury, they should go to a farm upstate IMO; regardless of how nice their owner insists they are.

The world, and Seattle in particular, has become far too passive when it comes to pushing back on dog owners for breaking the laws. Every day I see dogs on a beach, in a park that explicitly says ‘no dogs’, or on a seat in a bus.

Unpopular or not, please remember that dogs are, in fact, NOT PEOPLE.

Hi all,

My lease is up and I’ll be moving at the end of October. Combing through and refreshing 10 websites per day is as demoralizing and exhausting as it sounds, so I’m trying my luck here.

I’m in my mid 30s, work in education, and have good credit and references. My needs are basically quiet, LGBTQ friendly, non-smokers, and everyone pays the rent on time. Hoping for the Delridge/Riverview area, but anything close to the 128 line will work.

I’d love to connect with anyone who is seeking a house share. Are you looking for a punctual, responsible roommate? Know someone who is? Let’s talk!

[Seriously?]

Control your dogs! I was attacked by a “nice dog” yesterday. The nice dog bit through my pants and a knee brace leaving me with deep puncture wounds and a huge bruise. There was no warning that this nice dog was going to bite despite the owner telling me (afterwards) that the nice dog has a history of bitting people near doorways. I was leaving my building and moved aside to let the owner and the dog in. That’s when I got bit. Holding the door to let this neighbor and his dogs in. Again, no warning that this dog is scared of doorways and will bite people in doorways. I would have happily backed away had I known.

[CloseToHomeJobs]

Are you available Monday through Friday, 9am-2pm, and looking for a part-time job that you love? Do you stop people walking by to ask to pet their dog? Do you have previous dog-walking experience? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, come work with us as a professional dog walker!

TO APPLY: Complete an application at https://closetohomeseattle.com/careers/application-form/

Overview:

Close to Home Pet Services is an LGBTQAI-owned and operated company. We connect customers with our animal-obsessed team to provide their pets with unique, individual care. We have been providing individual dog walks and cat visits in Seattle since 2008. We’re currently looking to hire a responsible animal lover to join our professional team!

Together we create a safe, fun, healthy environment for our internal team, our animal/pet clients, our human clients, and our Community. We are making the difference together.

All Close to Home Dog clients are human-friendly and vetted for staff. All walks are private leashed walks in their neighborhood. Some dog walks are more than one dog if they live together.

***We are hiring hourly from $21/hr.***

Job Summary:

This is a physical job designed for true dog lovers. You will be walking independently and tasked with keeping clients’ pets safe and following any instructions provided by the client. Ideal routes are normally within one neighborhood, but you will need to travel to multiple households during the day and provide your own transportation.

We place great emphasis on safety, customer service, and self-reliance. Most walkers work an equivalent of 10-30 hours a week and find the flexibility that our company provides to be an ideal way to stay independent and balance other jobs, clients, or school with the freedom of self-employment.

• You are legally authorized to work in the United States
• You are willing to submit to a background check
• You have another form of income to help supplement this position

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of dog breeds and behavior can be helpful but not required
• The ability to make quick decisions to keep dogs and yourself safe
• Capable of walking more than one dog at a time
• Comfortable walking dogs with special medical or behavior concerns
• Time management skills to ensure on-time arrivals for all dog walks

• Work within a fun environment that encourages learning with positive/animal-loving co-workers
• Work at a company that respects you as an individual and creates healthy boundaries

What our team says about the company:

‘Close To Home has been an amazing place for me after leaving a high-stress job. Being outside, exercising, and connecting with animals is the perfect antidote for career burnout and has helped tremendously with my depression and anxiety. Plus, the miles I’m walking have conditioned me enough so I can do all the hikes that seemed out of reach previously.’
